The Omaker W4 may be the most powerful pocket size Bluetooth speaker I have reviewed… and I have reviewed a lot of speakers, make sure to check out the video playlist.

The Omaker W4 speaker is so tiny, light and compact that I didn’t really expect it to be so loud.

In fact, it has a 40mm sound driver and the quality of sound is surprisingly good. The sound is crisp and clear and there is even a good amount of bass.

In the packaging, you are getting some extras like a carbine and a nice carrying pouch.

The speaker is well built too. It does not sport any premium materials like aluminum. Instead, it uses a quality plastic which does not feel cheap.

There are some rubber elements going around the device. However, I’ve never been a huge fan of rubber as it attracts dust very quickly and it is hard to clean it.

The power button can also act as a play/pause or Bluetooth connection button.

When it comes to any Bluetooth speaker, one of the most important aspects is a battery life and this is where the Omaker W4 shines again. I could get around 11 hours of music playback, which is an amazing result for the speaker this small.

However, the speaker does not have an embedded mic for hands-free calling and it may be a major shortcoming for some.

All in all, Omaker W4 is a great pocket size Bluetooth speaker. I bet that you will be blown away by the volume output, sound quality and the battery life. However, you have to keep in mind that rubber material attracts dust very quickly and the speaker does not have a microphone. Other than that, it is a good product and it can be highly recommended.

I came across this unknown Bluetooth speaker and it actually sounds very good, and it is affordable. Find out more in a full review. 

Archeer A210 Bluetooth Speaker Review: VIDEO

Archeer A210 Bluetooth Speaker Review: UNBOXING

The speaker is made by Archeer and I will leave Amazon link down below the video. 

The device comes with the instruction manuals, USB and AUX cables, and carbine.

Archeer A210 Bluetooth Speaker Review: DESIGN and FEATURES

The Archeer speaker is mainly designed for outdoor use as it has IP44 rating meaning that it can survive water sprays from all directions and some minor drops. 

It is made of rubberised plastic and it has multi-directional speakers meaning that the sound is coming out from all directions. Also, the device is really compact and portable, so you can simply drop it the bag.

On one side you have a flap and underneath it you can find your micro USB charging port, AUX input for non-Bluetooth devices and microSD card slot as this speaker supports playback directly from the memory cards. All you have to do is to insert the card and the music starts playing automatically.

On the other side you can find a really interesting volume rocker. You have to spin it a lot to adjust the volume and while it may be annoying for some, it is pretty fun to me. Also, the volume rocker doubles as play/pause button if you press it. 

On the front there are skip tracks buttons, battery capacity indicator, which is actually a really neat feature, power on/off switch or mode button and a few notification LEDs. 

Archeer A210 Bluetooth Speaker Review: SOUND QUALITY

You can listen to music either via Bluetooth from your phone or directly from the microSD card. The sound quality… it’s really good. To be honest, not all manufacturers succeed when trying to make a good sounding multi-directional speaker but Archeer did a pretty good job. 

The sound is deep and clear, and I could hear a pretty good balance between lows, mids and highs. 

Finally, this thing is loud for its size as it has 10w of total volume output and the bass is really punchy.

Archeer A210 Bluetooth Speaker Review: TEST NOTES

As for battery, the speaker sports a 1500mAh unit and I could get over 10 hours of continuous playback, which is a great result. As far as Bluetooth, I didn’t have any connection or range issues.

Archeer A210 Bluetooth Speaker Review: CONCLUSIONS

The Archeer A210 Bluetooth speaker costs $39 and I believe it is a pretty good offering considering the feature set it has. 

The speaker sports a great build quality, it is splash-proof, shockproof and dust-proof, it has a lot of controls and indication LED lights, it supports the playback from the microSD cards, the battery life is great and the sound quality is really good. 

However, a few shortcomings would be that the call quality is bad and it even has connection issues. Also, the flap that is covering the ports could stay more firmly as I always have to double check it before using it in the rain or shower. 

Although it may not not be the only option available on the market, it can be definitely recommended.
